Developing Nuclear Reactors For The Home

TerraPower is an energy venture backed by Bill Gates that is currently in talks with Toshiba to further the development of home-based nuclear reactors. Claiming current technology can run on depleted uranium for up to 60 years, the partnership is aimed at developing marketable reactors that are small enough and safe enough for individual homes, as well as fostering a socialcultural climate that welcomes nuclear power as an in-home energy solution.
